Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621486@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250122T123143 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250107T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250107T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Find Your Pace: An adidas 2025 Internship Business Panel DESCRIPTION:🏀 Join us for an exclusive opportunity to hear directly from Business Leaders at adidas! 🌟 If you're an undergraduate student with a passion for the worlds of sports\, fashion and everything in between\, this panel is your gateway to a summer internship experience like no other. 🚀 \;❓ Ask the Experts: Got questions about the application process\, working at adidas\, or excelling during your internship? 🎯 adidas hiring managers from Supply Chain\, and other January roles\, along with the Early Career TalentAcquisition Team\, will be available to answer all your questions. 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ \;APPLICATIONS OPENJanuary 1 – January 15\, 2025Please note that roles may close prior to January 15th if there is a high volume of applications. \;Open roles in January will be for Global Operations/Sales/Analytics teams: Supply Chain Management\, Wholesale\, Digital Analytics (eCommerce/Marketing) \;Be part of the adidas legacy and let our leaders empower your journey towards a remarkable 2025 adidas summerinternship. 🌟👟Our internships are open to all majors.

In a \"black-box\" setting--one without access to the algorithm's internal structure--an auditor can only use model-agnostic methods based on varying inputs while observing differences in outputs. These include popular interpretability tools like Shapley values and Partial Dependence Plots. But such methods have important limitations that can impact audits with consequences for outcomes such as fairness. In high-stakes applications\, it may be worth the effort to use tools that can incorporate background information and be tailored for specific use-cases. We introduce promising ways to do this using the mathematics of causality\, with Causal Dependence Plots serving as an example. Causal interpretability illustrates a broader research agenda of a more human-centered data science\, empowering people with tools to consciously guide the directions of research and technology for our purposes.\n\nhttps://joshualoftus.com/ UID:130085-21865299@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130085 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241024T135141 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250107T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250107T190000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Strengthening Skills: A Group for Adults with ADHD DESCRIPTION:Have you wondered if you have undiagnosed Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD)?
